MAC Address

How can I retrieve the MAC address of a machine from the ip in a different
subnet from mine?
I'm almost sure that's no possible to do that, but I know that could be
possible (if it's a windows machine) throught netbios.
I use a linux box to monitor the lan and I'd like to check some "strange"
client doing a match between MAC address and IP becouse I think they use a
static ip to spoof my dhcp.
Could anyone help me?
